It all started so well too, Allie-Ann got in her bed, I read to her and then she went to sleep. It was so easy and I thought to myself, "Why hadn't I done this sooner?" But that thought did not last for long when we heard a loud thud coming from upstairs. I have never seen Kyle move so fast up the stairs with a pregnant lady following him. Sure enough, Allie-Ann fell out of her bed....ahhhhh. It was awful, she was so scared and I should have thought about that when I put her in that there could be a chance of her falling out. There was a little space from the toddler rail that we installed that she could possibly roll out. Well she did and after that she didn't want to go back into her bed. I managed to coax her back in because she was so sleepy but decided that I would camp out on the floor to listen out for her. We made a makeshift bumper with all her animals and her chair. Needless to say I did not get a lot of sleep last night from the worry of her falling out again and from the hard floor that I was sleeping on. Drats.....I hope tonight goes a little better.
In other news, I thought I would share some tidbits on Allie-Ann and what she is capable of doing at 2 1/2 years of age. I haven't posted anything of her developments in a while so I thought I would share her latest tricks.
